I just don't see that happening. The Cardinal way template was built with Holliday's contract for high priced FA's. Get them in here. See how they fit in the locker room. See if they perform. Then pay them in the off season. Now, if his agent or him wants to break the bank, thats not us and we will take the draft picks and move on.
Despite PGM's opinion he a a damn good complimentary player, No matter what he will provide good defense and speed on the bases. The money is ridiculous but the Cardinals have $150 million annual additional money coming in starting in 2017.Holliday Wainwright, Molina and Peralta's payroll obligations are gone in 2017-18.
We are going to be flush with cash. I'm not advocating throwing money around because these big money contract rarely work out but we know what we are getting. I don't see a real choice. Pay the man.
